We at www.lacrossecampfinder.com really think lacrose camps are great, but there will be times when you are alone. Listen to this great interview with Kyle Harrison; he has a lot of great thoughts on the sport, but in the middle he makes two really great points for kids working on their athletic abilities and also lacrosse specific skills.
One point that I have heard from college coaches and here from Kyle is until you are playing college ball, do not specialize in one sport. Kyle is coming at this from a have fun and a be coach-able point of view. I come at it as a scientist point of view — you want to avoid over use injuries.
Funny enough a major point Kyle is making here is a point I made in the past week is the need to practice like you play. Kyle’s example here is shooting. Standing in front of a goal is not going to help you. (Okay fine for a few warm-up shots or for a beginner trying to figure out how to use a crosse.) You need to be moving — at game speed — when you are taking your shots.
Here is Kyle’s great video:
